[QUOTE="chippie, post: 377042, member: 5644"] No treats during training because you can set yourself up for problems in the future, especially if you have a smart horse. Namely being you are in a situation where you can't give a treat like at a show or working or you don't have a treat to give. The horse expects to get paid, you don't pay him and he gets ticked. A girl at another board was having a hard time getting her horse to stop and stand still. She started giving him a carrot piece when he stopped. Then he wanted two and wouldn't go. She quit the treat and he bit her foot plus threw a tremendous fit. When working or training, a kind word and pat as a reward for a job well done goes a long way. Horses are not dogs. [/QUOTE]
